Hussein Calls Palin A Pig, McCain Fires Back - With Videos
“What Makes Obama Run?”
Come on, he knew how that choice of words would be taken and that’s why he chose them, like a very angry little boy who likes to cut the ears off rabbits and grows up to be Jeffrey Dahmer. I mean, you do have to be pretty scared and angry to get that nasty.

Political Wisdom: Democrats Rough Up a Lady (Palin, That Is)
Here’s a summary of the smartest new political analysis on the Web:
by Gerald F. Seib and Sara Murray
The Democrats, a bit unnerved by the rise of Gov. Sarah Palin, are hoping to blunt that rise by getting a little rough with the lady. Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen of Politico write that “Barack Obama and his Democratic allies are intensifying their attacks on Sarah Palin, as her sustained and surprising central role in this race is upending Obama’s strategy and often overshadowing” the Republican nominee himself, Sen. John McCain. Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan, they note, introduced vice presidential contender Joe Biden at a Tuesday event by ripping into her record and ending with a “snarky jab. ‘There’s no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick,’ he said. Later in the day, Obama used a variation of the lipstick line, though he was clearly talking about the McCain-Palin reform rhetoric. ‘You can put lipstick on a pig,’ he said. ‘It’s still a pig.’” VandeHei and Allen’s analysis: “The Obama campaign is calculating that it must reckon with Palin and the big public boost she has provided McCain in the past week….”
The Democrats’ attack strategy is a risky one though, writes Salon.com’s Mike Madden. “Attacking Palin directly could carry another pitfall for Obama (and running mate Joe Biden), besides taking the focus off McCain — creating sympathy for her. Republicans have tried to scare Democrats away from attacking Palin by declaring almost every criticism of her record to be rooted in sexism. ‘Traditionally, you wouldn’t really go after a vice-presidential candidate, and because she’s a woman and because of who she is, I can see it being a little bit fraught with danger,’ said Democratic pollster Anna Greenberg, who conducted focus groups on Palin’s convention speech with women voters in Las Vegas last week. Whether anyone buys the RNC’s new role as self-appointed guardian of feminism remains to be seen, but sure enough, on Tuesday, the Republican National Committee went after Biden for saying Palin’s policies would represent a step backward for women; the RNC accused Biden of saying ‘appalling’ and ‘arrogant’ things as part of an ‘old-style attack.’” McCain’s camp wasn’t too happy about the pig comment either.
Michael Crowley of The New Republic muses over the way the Palin choice has charged up the race for McCain, wonders how the Democrats could change the direction of things, and comes up with this answer: a Colin Powell endorsement of Obama. “It’ll be a few more days before we learn whether McCain-Palin are just riding a convention bounce or have changed the fundamental dynamics of the race,” he writes.” I think there’s good reason to believe Palinmania will wear off and Obama will rise again. But it’s got to be unnerving out in Chicago to see that a must-win state like Pennsylvania is creeping ever closer to a tie.” The “longer-term concern,” he adds, is that “it feels a bit as though Obama is out of steam, something that’s happened before. The man needs big moments to rekindle his fire… So what’s left? I reiterate: Colin Powell. He could decide this election if he wanted to.”
Meantime the Obama campaign is trying to move the race from a personality contest to one about the issues, writes Washingtonpost.com’s Chris Cillizza. “Obama’s strategy is a savvy one for two reasons: first, his campaign has lost the ‘personality’ battle over the last two months or so, watching as McCain largely succeeded in portraying the Illinois senator as a vacuous celebrity while casting himself as the self-sacrificing war hero. Second, in a political climate in which large majorities of the American people believe the country is off on the wrong track and are genuinely worried about their families’ financial well-being, an issue-focused appeal makes sense for the party out of power,” Cillizza writes. “Whether it will work is an entirely different question. While voters always say that they want the two candidates to talk less about one another and more about the issues, it is often personality-focused messages (or attacks) that are most effective in a campaign setting.”

September 10th, 2008 at 6:03 amwoah, the dialogues are becoming colorful… to be followed
September 10th, 2008 at 6:03 amJust listen to this asshole address the whole issue. What a dick and liar. He knows he was aiming his comment a Sarah. Just never thought the American people who pick up on it because it is an old line. That by the way would not have gotten the laughs and right on’s it did if Not for Sarah’s speech. He even paused knowing that people would cheer. He really thinks that American’s are stupid. Now he is accusing the McCain camp of making up scandals for the press. What a joke coming from the Obama camp considering the smear campaign against Sarah Palin the last 2 weeks. LMAO!!!
September 10th, 2008 at 6:51 amBe prepared for the continual wailing and gnashing of teeth out of the left after Nov 4th, it’ll be all the same old rant, “The election was stolen, recount the votes, they cheated”, blah blah blah.
September 10th, 2008 at 7:19 amWhat makes Obama run?
Apparently, hockey-moms.
September 10th, 2008 at 7:34 amThey think a Colin Powell endorsement is the panacea to Obama’s problems … WOOHOO! We WIN!
September 10th, 2008 at 7:43 amOkay, I crawled out of bed just in time to see the world hadn’t been sucked into a black hole, but to see a black hole sucking the American public’s ear about how the McPalin camp was being dumb thinking they can make something out of his insult yesterday with the lipstick reference.
The man is all about delivery and timing. He delivers … and then times the audience reaction on cue. Check the look on his face in both instances. The first obvious one was his insult to Hillary Clinton with his cheek scratch with his middle finger strategically place and timed in his comment … to which the audience reacted on cue.
And compare it to the lipstick remark, his facial expression, and the timing for the audience to catch-up and react … right on cue.
He does “Clinton” better than Clinton.
Obama gives Hillary the bird:

Meanwhile, this son of a bitch and bastard DARES claim racism anytime anything is said against him and his campaign.
You know, I can STILL see the bitterness in Geraldine Ferraro when she talks about BHO, and when she uses measured [support] for Sarah Palin …
This shit-heel is the final downfall of the democrat party … they have crossed over to complete street thugs …
“You don’t respect me? You dissin’ me, bitch?”
